Not working with iOS 26
Be aware that updating to iOS 26 means this app will not work. Yamaha please fix this.
Limited functionality
This app does not include all the features of the original remote, and the replacement remotes are not available for sale when they die/break/are lost. Very frustrating.
Sooo frustrating.
My very expensive Disklavier (and baby grand Yamaha) do NOT work MOST OF THE TIME unless I get tech help (M-F only!)
I would NOT HAVR MADE THIS PURCHASE HAD I KNOWN!

It is fully functional again
Great news, it works with my Disklavier Mark IV again!!!
Great App Thank You
This app works perfectly for my Mark 4 Pro, & Yamahas tech support is always there for me, even 20 years later. The app is done in a beautiful rendering way. I don’t understand the bad reviews here. Yamaha has continued to support my product, and even sends me free fixes such as a new floppy or cd players for free! I’m very impressed & happy with Yamaha & this app.

Reason to not buy a disklavier piano
Please improve this terrible, difficult to use app.
It does Not find my Disklavier
While i want to connect it to my Disklavier? It can Not find my Disklavier name on this app, and there is No any good technician to support, come on Yamaha the world is Not only the place to make money.
Not functional
Does not connect to the instrument without a firmware reset
Abysmal
Never connects. You would think a company like Yamaha with those who invested 40k in a piano could migrate from the crappy palm to an iPad with ease...not even close...ugh!
Really awful and uninspiring
Counterintuitive GUI. More like a puzzle than an intelligent piece of software. Sure once you figure it out it will play fine. But if you only use once in a while, forget it. Start guessing and learning all over. So clumsy and ambiguous you wonder how the support and focus for controlling a musical instrument of such excellence could receive such mediocrity. A colossal embarrassment. I hope one day someone at Yamaha wakes up, trashes this software and redesigns it from the ground up. For several generations the software did not even have a name on the App Store that had Yamaha or Disklavier in the name. “US controller” or something like that. Really Says it all.

No longer connects to DKC 850
Two stars only -for when it worked. Sees Disklavier but never connects with iOS 12
Improvements needed...
If you're thinking about buying a current generation Yamaha hybrid piano (Enspire or E3), you'd be smart to research how Yamaha has supported previous generations of their products. To be brief, Yamaha COULD easily upgrade this software to be more user friendly, but usually they deliver the bare minimum (and often late-to-market) update to prevent crashes under a new iOS. With the death of most old PRC-100 controllers, this software is one of your ONLY WAYS to interface with the Mark IV hardware.
One simple idea: When browsing for songs, AND playing songs (MIDI or FIL), there's plenty of screen real-estate to provide more than just ONE LINE of the song title. "Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV #..." is all I see for dozens of titles. And, there are plenty of other little tweaks like this that would make everyone's life easier.
In addition, wouldn't it be nice if Mark IV customers could UPGRADE their hardware to Enspire? I've chatted with Yamaha Engineers about this, and there's not a big technical impediment... just a marketing/sales/field issue. Support your customers, Yamaha!

Update!
Yeah thank you for this update! It works great!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for updating
ThAnk you for the update!
Great and Functional
The UI could use an update but I haven't had any problems using this with our families piano. Don't really know why people are having problems. It's been great for me. The app does need a little rewrite to be up to par with the new iOS but other than that keep up the good work.
No longer functions
How can someone pay $$$$ for the coolest analog piano in the world and then have no updates on controlling app for so long? App no longer functions. iP7+
Great Controller For the Disklavier
Idk what's up with all the bad reviews, I love this controller it's so much faster then the one that comes with it.
Frustrating
This takes so long to recognize my piano and sometimes never does. Nice to have when it works which is close to never. Very frustrating.
Lack of success
I have installed and reinstalled this app several times without success. Even the techs st Yamaha are stumped. Very disappointed. 👎
Cannot find the device
The app can't find the device although I can see the device is on the same network. Need support or an update.
